How to get a grip on causes of stress

Health professionals from Lancashire Care’s Mindsmatter service are encouraging residents in Lancashire to give mindfulness a go as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.

The Mindsmatter team at Lancashire Care provide a range of courses including Stress Control courses as well as Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy courses for people across the county who may be experiencing mental health issues. Lisa Graham, senior cognitive behavioural therapist and mindfulness said: “Mindfulness helps people to concentrate on the present, to help us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings when faced with different situations.
